Inscrutability

I don't know
is read as a mission statement
for the curious, the doers, the ambitious,

but it's a fact not a project
particularly between humans
we who might wish to see

and categorize
ultimately to understand
misunderstand the reason why exists;

it's the questions that's a distraction
with its accomplice: how
and the ringleader, what

a conspiracy of knowledge
with the pretense of certain eventual totality
smells like religion to me;

yet one must do the process,
to ask questions, to try,
under the sky that cannot be said

to be blue or purple or green;
all that goes between any two of us
will ultimately be unseen.
